Even if those cultivating them still need to buy some other food, doesn’t it conribute to reduce their food cost?
Here many of them produce more than their family can eat, but face the problem that each type of vegetable tend to arrive at maturity at the same time. The usual trick they use is to be a community, sharing and receiving according to the quantity produced. I had friends into such, and they were eating some of their (or their communities’) production daily ; off course still buying non-vegetable food but it was not just a leisure.

Aren’t there allotment gardens in the cities Spain?

Yes! We have some of them. But the area and capabilities of the terrain doesn’t give nearly enough for actual food purposes.
You can have a few good tomatoes harvest, but nothing that could actually sustain people.
